Lost Luggage? If You Had This Little Thing in Your Bag You Would Know Where It Was

2013-01-06

Losing your luggage sucks, but the worst part is when your airline tells you it has no idea where your luggage is. Trakdot is a little battery-powered gadget that you can throw in your bag. When you land, just check your phone and you'll know whether or not your bag landed with you. And if not, at least you'll know which airport it's at.
Trakdot has a built-in GSM chip—no GPS here. It can find your bags' location without using a lot of battery power. (It's approved by the FAA for travel, by the way.)
